Samuel Beckett
Yes, light, there is no other word for it.
Samuel Beckett
I shall state silences more competently than ever a better man spangled the butterflies of vertigo.
Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett

Samuel Beckett
There is no use indicting words, they are no shoddier than what they peddle.
Samuel Beckett
We are all born crazy. Some remain that way.
Samuel Beckett
I marshalled the words and opened my mouth, thinking I would hear them. But all I heard was a kind of rattle, unintelligible even to me who knew what was intended.
Samuel Beckett
Vladimir: Did I ever leave you? Estragon: You let me go.
Samuel Beckett
Two in distressmake sorrow less.
Samuel Beckett
The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep, somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh.
Samuel Beckett
But I know what darkness is, it accumulates, thickens, then suddenly bursts and drowns everything.
Samuel Beckett
